First trailer for The Current War

The official trailer for the historical drama The Current War [CURNT] is now online. The Weinstein Co. will open The Current War in limited release beginning November 24th.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch [BCUMB] as Thomas Edison and Michael Shannon [MISHA] as George Westinghouse, THE CURRENT WAR is the epic story of the cutthroat competition between the greatest inventors of the industrial age over whose electrical system would power the new century. Backed by J.P. Morgan, Edison dazzles the world by lighting Manhattan. But Westinghouse, aided by Nikola Tesla, has seen fatal flaws in Edison's direct current design. Igniting a war of currents, Westinghouse and Tesla bet everything on risky and dangerous alternating current. Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon and written by playwright Michael Mitnick, THE CURRENT WAR also stars Katherine Waterston [KWATE], Nicholas Hoult [NHOUL], Tom Holland [TOHOL], Matthew Macfadyen, and Tuppence Middleton.
